My Magician's Nephew Soundtrack
This is my Magician's Nephew Soundtrack.
These are my songs and why I choose them.
These are my songs and why I choose them.
My Magician’s Nephew Soundtrack:
1. Rom Des Princesses: I choose this song because it reminded me of Digory looking over the wall between Polly and his house. Also it is a quiet and peaceful song so it reminds me of friendships and new beginnings.
2. Liebestram : I choose this song because the piano solo reminded me of continuous growing and it is very peaceful like the Wood Between the Worlds. This song is also very calming that I could go to bed with it on it makes me feel almost like you would in the Wood (Dreamy).
3. Hungarian Rhapsody No. Six: I choose this song because it is very lively almost like something is coming alive. If this song were in The Magician’s Nephew I would have this play when Jadis were slowly coming alive. Then when the witch begins to tell her story the music gets louder then comes to a stop.
4. The White Witch: I choose this song because I just had to use it. The piece of music fits so perfectly with when Jadis tells Digory and Polly about what she did, about the Deplorable Word. Near the end of the song they find out how evil Jadis really is and that she wants to rule Earth.
5. Danse Infernal Du Roi Kastchei: I choose this song because it reminds me of the panic when Digory and Polly try to escape the Jadis and leave her in Charn .
6. Introduction, Firebird: I choose this song because it makes me think of Jadis in the Wood between the Worlds, weak and sickly looking.
7. The Poet and the Peasant: I choose this song because it made me think of Digory waiting for Jadis to come back with Uncle Andrew. Then Down the street they come with a huge mob following them.
8. Nabucco Overture: I choose this song because this could be Aslan’s song that created Narnia because it has light and dark tempos’ and sounds’.
9. Symphony Number Five: I choose this song because it gives me the picture of Fledge(Strawberry ) growing wings and learning how to fly.
10. Wedding March from Midsummer Night’s Dream: I choose this song because I thought it would be a good happy closer. The song expresses happiness and gets everyone in a cheery spirit.
